Piratess Lyrics - I Am Very Far - Okkervil River

Who wrote those lines on the wall? 

Let's retrace where they scrawled ancient characters 

It's 2: 00 and your sister's slip, it falls 

And the afternoon crawls across the room and tackles her 

I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through 

'Cause I don't believe that you might be a murderess 

But I saw inside each small, dark eye as it was turning blue 

All the strength inside to do just what the captain says and hang the rest 

And moved by the rhyme in the psalm 

We agreed that it was wrong and to believe in it 

Ooh, swooned the wall all night long 

But a lie's a lie, no matter what guy's breath's in it

I don't know that I would go that far down some dark avenue 

With a whispering crew of shadows all protecting it 

But I saw inside each small white lie as it was turning true 

The ability to do all things expected of it 

I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through 

'Cause I don't believe that you might be a piratess 

Did you hide inside each small white lie, before you turned it true 

The ability to do all things the captain says?

Oh murderess in the wilderness, with your victims all around you 

Their combined love forms a pool your knife's reflected in 

And now I'm ready, too, with my throat to you. On this mountain. By this moon. 

And what I want the most to do is prove that I'm not like them
